Can someone help be design an enclosure?

Measurements might be nice, if your current box has 2.75 cu ft then your good for one 15. But your chioce of sub may not be good. I like PowerBass, but he dual Voice coil thing might be a problem. A dual 4 ohm speaker will get you 2 ohm or 8 ohm.

The 2 ohm configuration is OK ONLY if you amp ia a class D, class A B amps dont like 2 ohm loads in mono

Now for your truck, tune the port a little higher, this will take advantage of your shorter distances in the cab. Tune around 42 to 45 Hz.

For your 2.75 cu ft box, using two 4-inch ports, they will need to be about 9-inches long.

 

GohillaAudio sorry for the tread jacking.... Ranger, Azn is really tied up with the designs he has to do now. Could you help me design a box for my wife's CRV? I'm only going to use a 10" and since i want it to fit flush in the floor i have to go sealed. I know the minimum required is 1.0 cu ft. could you help me out if i got you the measurements? I went to a car audio place the other day and they want way too much money to make a simple 1 cu ft box. I'd rather do it myself anyway.

 

why cant you port it?just have it fire up.the port i mean along with the sub

 

I charge way to much to build boxes too, but advice is always free. Can you post a pic of the area you will be working in and those masurements? Lets see what we can do.

 

I would love to do a ported box, but i don't think i have enough room to work with on this one.

Thanks ranger, I'll take a picture when i get home tonight and i'll take the measurements. I just have no idea at all on how to design a box.

download winisd pro, there is plenty of documentation to get you started and its about the simplest box design software. there is also bassbox but that is a much harder to use and much more thorough program. AZN and i have been using winisd pro and its given us great results. I've built quite a few boxes following a design from it and they're all the loudest systems in the area haha.

 

I got my max measurements for the CRV and i have a very small area to work with, VERY SMALL. I came up with the external measurements of 19"x17"x8" so the internal is 17.5"x15.5"x6.5" = 1,763.13 cu. in. / 1728 = 1.02 cu ft.

I'm just a little worried, this is a very small box and the my depth is only 6.5 internal and the mounting depth of the sub is 4-13/16. is that enough room? How do you think this will sound? I decided against the crossfire sub and i'll just go with a kicker comp 10". It's just for my wife and she doesn't like a lot of bass so i'm thinking that will be ok for her with the MTX amp.

 

hey ccullin i used to have a kicker comp 10 in my spare tire.

i had it sandwitched with 2 round cutouts and 12 in bolts with wing nuts.

it was very stealth and it pounded like a mother.it must have been less than 3/4 cu ft easy.

so yours should do something in 1 cu ft

 

Really? that is very stealthy... did you take any pics of it? How did you get that idea? On the kicker site they said that the minimum required for the kicker comp is 1 cu. ft. so im hoping that it will sound ok. the space looked big to me until i measured it. I was hoping to get 1.5 cu ft. but i couldn't get it to work. Even the kicker comps are way overpriced here. a 10" is about $100.

 

Try one of the Pioneer thin mount woofers. The Pioneer Premier TS-SW1241D is a really good sounding woofer in small spaces. Also it can be ported, even in an enclosure as small as 1 Cu Ft

Did you download WinISD yet? Did you post the dimensions that you have to work with?

 

I haven't seen anybody selling pioneer subs in the philippines. I was able to find a JBL GTO, its not a shallow mount sub but it only needs .75 cu ft for a sealed box. are JBL's any good?

 

jbl makes a good product.
